Okada Associate Director Gaming Services Division, Vice President Consulting & Valuation HVS – Las Vegas Any previously held notion that the Las Vegas gaming-tourism industry is recession-proof was dispelled in 2008 as, to quote the Las Vegas Review Journal, “the imploding economy drove a stake though the heart of the Strip.” The downturn in the national and worldwide economies, and the resulting decrease in consumer consumption, has reduced visitation to the Las Vegas market in 2008 to levels not seen since 2004, which was prior to the opening of major properties including the Wynn Las Vegas, South Point, Red Rock Station, Palazzo, and Encore. As quality new supply is absorbed and operators have implemented strategies to compete for overnight guests to support gaming and other amenities, average daily room rate has dropped. The recession is prompting visitors and locals to gamble less. Challenging economic conditions, including the turmoil in the credit markets, have also resulted in a scaled-back development pipeline.
